9.3 Mounting the ManaBloc – Surface Mount
1. A suitable base for the ManaBloc can be constructed from a section of
½" or thicker plywood that is a minimum 22½" wide and slightly longer
than the overall length of the ManaBloc.
2. Securely attach a length of 2x4, or other suitable framing material with
a thickness of 1½" and about 3½" wide, on the left and right sides
of the mounting base running the full length of the ManaBloc (see
illustration to left). The 2x4s will be used to secure the distribution lines
at the correct height as they exit the ManaBloc. (Support clamps not
to exceed 6" spacing from end of ports.)
3. Attach the mounting base to the structure in a suitable location (see
"8.2 Location" on page 39). The base should be mounted so the top
of the ManaBloc is between four feet and six feet from the 󶈶oor but
may be at any height provided that the height maintains accessibility
to all the ports on the ManaBloc.
4. The mounting base must be 󶈵rmly attached to a structure solid
enough to support, at a minimum, the weight of the ManaBloc 󶈵lled
with water. The base should be square and level.
5. Center the ManaBloc on the base both vertically and horizontally, as
shown to left. Attach the ManaBloc to the mounting base with four
½" or longer drywall or wood screws through the holes in the plastic
brackets on the ManaBloc. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
6. As the distribution lines are connected to the ManaBloc (see "10.3
Connecting Distribution Lines to the ManaBloc" on page 53), ensure
that the tubing exits the unit at a 90° angle to the center line of the
ManaBloc so as not to induce bending stress on the ManaBloc.
7. When attaching the distribution line tubing to the 2x4 supports, be
sure to use appropriately sized Viega tubing clamps. (For example,
use part number 52000 for ⅜" tubing and part number 52020 for ½"
tubing.)
Use one clamp per tube to ensure that the tubing is held securely.
Position clamps NO FARTHER than 6" from the end of the port. DO
NOT pull tubing tight.
